I’m being repeatedly reminded of people’s stupid behaviour while guiding weekend buses taking folks on hiking tours north of Whistler, BC.
Passing on curves over double-yellow lines? Sure!
Missing head-on collisions by a few meters because of passing on curves over double-yellow lines? Sure!
Not checking your rear-view mirror and hitting the brakes for no apparent reason in your subcompact with a bus behind you? Do you have any clue how far it takes a coach bus to stop?
I’d rank half-ton and 3/4-ton truck drivers as the worst (we’re invincible!), followed by supercar drivers (way more money than responsibility), followed by motorcyclists (gotta go fast, gotta go fast, gotta go fast.)
You may all not care about being in line for a Darwin Award, but I care about the 50+ people on the bus.
You’re on a public highway, respect the rules.
